Contested Social and Ecological Reproduction : Impacts of States, Social Movements, and Civil Society in Times of Crisis

Abstract

Humanity has not succeeded in securing the basis of life for all people. A major reason is the dominant global capitalist economy, which is based on the exploitation and use of nature—but this state of affairs is not accepted by everyone. This book provides a close socio-analytical look at how states, social movements, and civil society actors deal with this polycrisis.
